I have really been into the Guinness and chocolate flavour combo lately! Guinness, like coffee, has the ability to bring out chocolates natural flavour and make it even better, if that is possible. Even after the Guinness chocolate cheesecake and the chocolate stout cake I was looking for more and this Guinness chocolate pudding that I found on epicurius was looking pretty good. Not only does this recipe use Guinness in the chocolate pudding but it also reduces some Guinness into a syrup and then mixes it into whipped cream which is then placed on top of the pudding as if it were the bubbly head of a Guinness after freshly poured! How cool is that?

As far as pudding recipes goes, this one is pretty standard including eggs, sugar, cream, chocolate and of course the Guinness. This recipe is pretty easy but you are going to want to make sure that you do not boil the cream or turn the eggs into scrambled eggs when you add the hot cream to them. Just mix the cream into the eggs nice and slowly and everything will be fine. For a treat like this it really pays off to use a nice quality dark chocolate and if you save some of the chocolate flakes from when you chop it, you can use them as a garnish on the Guinness whipped cream topping.

Tip: If you do accidentally scramble the eggs and get little bits in your pudding or custard, you can run it through a fine meshed sieve to remove any large bits helping to ensure that it is nice and smooth.

This Guinness chocolate pudding is so amazingly smooth, creamy and decadently, chocolaty good!

This looks fabulous. Too funny that there is Guiness in there; perfect for St. Patty's Day tomorrow. Just found out you'll be at the Dole Conference, too and I'm so excited to meet you!Have a great weekend.

Great site. Nice clean layout, pics, etc...you've done well. Thanks for all of the hard work (and the beautiful ad-free-ness of it all). I don't know you, but if you're actually eating all of this, moderation is key to a long life. This is some seriously artery-clogging fare, and who knows what else! Ok, doctors know...Otherwise, keep it up. Bon appetit!

Thank you Kevin for this recipe. I made this for my husband for valentine's day. He is a diabetic so I successfully substituted stevia for sugar in this recipe. Still tasted amazing! I made 2 types of whipped cream, one with a little stevia, and one using the Guinness syrup. We preferred the one without the Guinness syrup.

Can't wait to try this! I had to buy Guinness Draught 4-pk for making the glazed corned beef and was wondering what to do with the rest. Hubby loves chocolate, so this is the perfect St. Pat's Day dessert.

Made a half-batch for St. Patrick's Day. My husband loves chocolate, so I made fairly big servings. It was so rich and wonderful and smooth and decadent, even the confirmed chocoholic couldn't eat all of it! For those who haven't tried it yet, DO NOT skip the Guinness syrup to go on top. The little bit of bitterness in the syrup offsets the rich pudding perfectly! Good without it, divine with it!!! Thanks for another great recipe!
